Shares of Bharat Heavy Electrical Ltd (BHEL) dipped over 12.8% on the BSE to Rs 133.65, their lowest since 25 January 2017, after the company’s standalone net profit declined by 57% to Rs 215.55crore in the fourth quarter ending March 31, 2017, due to lower income and provisions for higher wages. The company had reported a standalone net profit of Rs 505.71 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.
